\n\tFox<\/a> will put more of the nation\u2019s dumbest on television.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe broadcaster has renewed Nation\u2019s Dumbest for a second season. It comes after the first season debuted on July 15 with 2.3M total viewers over its first seven days, per Nielsen, which was the network\u2019s biggest summer launch in four years.<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\tJack Whitehall hosts the series<\/a>, which comes from BBC Studios.<\/p>\n

\n\tNation\u2019s Dumbest is the first television show where the loser is the winner. Celebrities fight it out to be eliminated from the competition as quickly as possible to avoid being crowned the nation\u2019s dumbest. From influencers to wrestlers, comedians to politicians, the contestants are put to the test in a series of physical and mental rounds about all the things you really should know.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe first season starred the likes of Hilaria Baldwin, Dr. Drew Pinsky, Steve-O and JoJo Siwa.<\/p>\n

\n\tBased on a Norwegian format, the series is executive produced by Ryan O\u2019Dowd, Krystal Whitney and Jenny Groom for BBC Studios alongside Pip Wells and Pete Cooksley with Wells serving as showrunner.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe smartest thing about Nation\u2019s Dumbest is that it never forgot the assignment: to have universally relatable fun,\u201d said Michael Thorn, President of Fox Entertainment Network. \u201cBlending Jack Whitehall\u2019s wit with a class of celebrities fully committed to the joke made for a standout summer hit. Our partners at BBC have constructed an original format that\u2019s entertaining, accessible and distinctively Fox, so a sophomore season was a no-brainer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFox has a long, distinguished history of broadcasting cultural milestones. I\u2019m so proud to say that Nation\u2019s Dumbest is not one of them. We\u2019re thrilled by America\u2019s response to the first season and so happy with what Jack and our entire team brought to life. We couldn\u2019t be more excited to partner with Fox on a new season that\u2019s even dumber, even bigger, and even dumber,\u201d added Ryan O\u2019Dowd, President, BBC Studios Global Productions Los Angeles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fox will put more of the nation\u2019s dumbest on television.
